Only Cub Cadets - Hi from Indiana

Hi, I'm Matt, my wife loves the fact that i get on these things and spend a lot of time on my computer. please read and help me with my tractor problems. thank you.

now that my wife has made my introduction for me (LOL) I guess a little background is in order. My grandpa retired from IH in the early 80's. He was big on brand loyalty, and since IH had their fingers in a lot of sugar bowls, there was a lot of IH branded stuff around, from snow throwers, lawnmowers, hedge clippers, refrigerators, and yes, a Cub Cadet 108. That Cub needs a tune up but is in otherwise great shape, always stored indoors. Rarely has it spent a night outside. When it came to me buying a tractor to mow with, naturally I looked at Cubs first. I bought a 169 for $400 and mowed until it threw a rod. Moved and rebuilt the engine, but the new place didn't have a big year and I didn't need the tractor really. Bought a 107 for $50, sold the 169 (I really wanted to sell both) and now I'm working on fixing the 107. So far I've replaced one rear tire, wiring harness, and I pulled the motor to check the engine mount holes and fix the flywheel screen. So far it seems to cut nice, but I think the engine needs a tune up/carb adjusted because it didn't seem to have the power to turn the blades and move the tractor through the grass as quickly as I would like.

I don't think I'll be posting much, I tend to do a lot of searching before I ask questions. I do have what I think is an 8hp Original motor that is just sitting on my garage floor that I will probably post up for sale. I've got no use for it, so why keep it?
